Classic's "1.13" patch is built off of Legion 7.3.5

7.3.5 was unironically a great stopgap between Legion and BfA, and all the pre-expac stuff was really cool.

I wish they could pull that off. It's very hard to do, also imagine the outrage.

Nigga as long as my guild isn't dead 5 nights of the week I couldn't care less. This isn't an MMO anymore, it's a treadmill.

Classic isnt a product of BfA

This pretty much.

>pro tip: you wont

Describe some advantages the old 1.13 client would have vs. the 7.35 client. Keep in mind the amount of exploits, hacks, and such that happened at the time. Just because the 7.35 client is being used as a framework for classic doesn't mean it won't perform (mostly) like 'vanilla'.

Using a 14 year old client to run with modern servers is a horrible idea and would take so much longer to get running.

It doesn't make it easier to balance the game

At the mythic raid level, which is all Ion cares about.

You ever wonder why the rest of the game has been reduced to minigames with no proper playtesting? Because they spend their entire development time min-maxing mythic raids for world first autists, meanwhile anyone who isn't a raider is stuck with faceroll mode of the same raid, or diablo rift dungeons.

Boralus is shit, the only comfy part is around the alliance shit while the rest is just dirty ass houses you can't even enter or do anything in and everything looks like it reeks of fish.

Honestly it leaves the door open for abusing shortcuts, or an easy excuse for the devs to go back on their promises of providing a “classic” experience.

Given their current track record, they will undoubtedly at some point go back on their promise of providing an authentic classic experience and some sort of quality of life changes will be implemented to appease the people complaining that classic is too slow or boring for them.

I think its because the most archaic version of WoW could only utilize one core. That and wasnt 4:3 the standard still back then?

Remember when leveling dungeons were huge and expansive with multiple pathways and quests and cool gimmicks? Remember blackrock depths?
This game is a fucking joke now.

Yes, problem is instead of rebuilding 1.12, they're going to use 7.3.5 with all its problems baked in.

the game itself hasn't been an mmo for a long time and raids didn't really help with that. i don't play wow anymore, but yeah I noticed that they would spend a ridiculous amount of time on raids but there would never be anything else to do.

Yes, its why I post this every thread.

Furthermore. Saying it’s a 14 year old client is irrelevant when the game itself is pushing a close to 20 year old engine

Remember when people didn’t have the attention span of a goldfish?

They're going to have to spend more time unfucking the game and pretty much rewriting 7.3.5 code.

Let me remind you these are the same people who couldn't expand the backpack size for 10 years because the engine coders have long ago quit.

lmao imagine trying to play Vanilla WoW and doing these shit dungeons with people who only want to get loot their vanilla guide from wowhead told them about

rebuilding 1.12 to be multicore is a lot more work when you can just shove the map and mechanics into the 7.3.5 client. one would assume they would have made it easy to change things like talent menus, but this is the company that claims they 'hardcoded' 16 slot backpacks as the first one as well as not being able to add an invisible option to battlenet.

Vanilla Zandalari looked exactly like Darkspear trolls you fucking catababy

I'd imagine most of those people will be filtered out by Defias Pillagers or rage quitting over raptor heads and getting kicked from deadmines and WC runs for breaking CC

Nah. But I do remember when those people didn't care enough about video games and it didn't make sense to make games for them. Say all you want about modern WoW, but I'm unsubbed from it while my friend who gets one shot by mechanics he ignores in LFR and complains the boss fight is "not designed well enough" has been subscribed as far as I remember and still is. He even bought the 6 month subscription thing with the boat. Those people will keep this game alive eternally, not the more hardcore people.

Are they that inexperienced or am I missing something crucial in being unable to code bigger storage bags?

one of two things are going to happen

>They struggle and get their ass kicked, but eventually they get a good weapon drop or big crit that oneshots the mob that was fucking them up and get get that rush that we've all been missing all these years

>They quit from murlocs running away and aggroing 20 others.

the engine was redone a while ago.

i don't recall having any issues in 7.3.5, but they don't have to rewrite very much. the shit to handle content is much less than the logic, rendering, and networking.

Most of WOW from a certain point is probably done through an engine editor and the original coders who built the engine probably quit long ago and require high commissions to come in and add in new shit.

Fuck those murlocs in every conceivable way, I put up with that shit until I didn’t have to anymore

Right looks like Shattered Halls

They all look great

As it stands now they’re falling into the same trap Bethesda laid for themselves with their Gamebyro engine. The bandaid fixes are going to slip eventually

7.0 struggles to run when more then 20 people are in the same area.

Its why random community events are a bannable offence in modern WOW, unless you're on an RP server (Because that one RP event almost caused half of the remaining playerbase to quit due to phasing in Icecrown)

I’d charge big bucks too if I helped make a money printer

Give me a single good reason why they shouldn't. You have no fucking clue what you're talking about. The client has absolutely no effect on the content or design itself, all it brings is support for modern hardware and 10+ years of non-gameplay affecting bugfixes and anti-cheat.

so when WoW released you got a default 16 slot bag, and this was great because 16 slot bags were huge then. As time went on bags got bigger and more and more people wanted to replace that shitter bag. They kept using excuses like it's 'hardcoded', which is meaningless. If it can be coded, it can be uncoded. God knows they've probably fucked with inventory database shit before.

Then when they added battle.net when nobody wanted it, people noticed all of a sudden they couldn't go invisible, so you get work buddies adding you and you cant hide from them. The absolute fucking normies on the battlenet forums would enable blizzard by screeching that if someone was truly your friend you'd never hide from them, ignoring the fact that people just dont want to talk sometimes. Turns out they also 'hardcoded' the online statuses in battle.net. These are things that interns and students can implement and program without too much effort. If you know anything about states in programs, you'd know how fucking retarded that is.

On the subject of Classic I unironically think they should have servers for every expansion.

Id personally get a kick out of being able to re-experience TBC, Wrath, and MoP, and I'd imagine the more recent you get the more likely it is they have an actual backup of the last patch.

The Tournament of Ages unironically saved RP realms.

gotcha. I barely visited cities in legion, but that makes sense. Vanilla would not be the same without hundreds of gnomes storming elwynn forest when servers go down. My computer was absolute shit then and I could handle it fine.

I remember how nobody played those dungeons in vanilla other than the one part that was needed to get attunement. Not being able to play the fucking game was one of the main reasons I dropped WoW before BC. I remember how all of the hard/unrewarding dungeons were ghost towns for content. everybody would rather spend 10 levels power grinding in meta dungeons like WC or SM. in principle, i thought wow was an ok game, but the community was made up of either minmaxing tryhards or super casuals, there was no middle ground and they killed all the fun by being allergic to content

No they don't are you blind?

I’ll refer you to my post here

I want to marry and impregnate a Void Elf

RP realms are legit the last bastion of MMO aspects of WOW, automated phasing is disabled on RP realms and sharding is completely disabled as well.

It’s late

>be in RP realm
>walk around AH
>people phasing in and out because the client cant handle more than 10 people on the screen at once
>watch a futa black gnome and trap dwarf's erp get broken up because of it

when did they do that, last time i played it was awful

I’m surprised they even exist given Blizzard being draconian fucks with their stance against “toxic gamers”

An RP event that happens every year on MG us, everyone goes to the argent dawn colluseum in Icecrown to RP, the co-ordinators organize things like duals, races, ect, and have rewards for people on the server.

The first tournement after legion started a massive boycott, because when they tried to run it they found that the sharding tech that was implemented in legion affected the icecrown zone, pretty much making the tournement impossible to run

Now you have to understand that Moonguard is one of the last 3-5 remaining full pop realms US side, and at the launch of legion all the autistic sperglords who RP in stormwind and ERP in goldshire found that they couldn't see anyone else, because Goldshire and Stormwind was sharded, so places that normally had 5-20 people, like the mage district or cathedral district or even fucking the cesspit that is MG goldshire found that they could at most see 2-3 other people, in the entire zone, that already caused most people to pretty much refund legion before legion even launched until blizzard hotfixed it, then the tournement happened.

TL:DR, blizzard almost lost their most popular US realm due to bad design choices, because they fucking forgot that WOW's biggest defining feature is the fact the world is massive, open, and shared.

Amazing. And it’s that same crap that is going to be used for classic. Simply amazing.

RP realms have historically been able to police themselves and tend to have thicker skins then the soccermoms that have plagued normal servers for the past 10 years.

If blizzard enforced the RP server rules they would be the best servers to roll on, even if you didn't RP, because every illiderp and gokufury and anal thunderfury spammer would be temp banned off them for 6 months for every offence.

Heritage stuff is nice.

In fact the 'War Campaign' of BFA should have been that. Yes, the Alliance and Horde are back at war, again, but it's a chance to look inward at races of each faction why they're still part of their faction. Have a racial campaign launching from your home city with homegrown champions about their action during the war and shit like that.

I wish they'd make that Gnomeregan cloak from the pre-Cata event moggable for them. It's been sitting in my Paladin's bank doing nothing for 9 years now.

Considering how much bloat the modern client has, especially since they're going to allocate more server calls to shard and phase players rather then just rendering them, yeah, it matters.

Why would worgen ally with forsaken?

why did you even bother replying

Why?

None of you have any clue how software development works.
Having two independently developed copies of the same client for two different versions of the game would be absolutely retarded from a development perspective and has absolutely zero advantages. Running different content on the same core engine so it can be updated together is how it's always done with things like this.

I don't think there is a reedemable thing about BFA other than the allied races, mythic system for dungeon autists like me (already in Legion) and class identity (debatable), retaking Lordaeron and the faction war.
They fucked up at giving the races, the mythic is the endgame in a MMORPG and even if the war is ok the causes are absolutely pantsu on head retarded.

Good for them. I'm not playing on a twitcher server.

I'll wait for expansion servers.

And I will avoid the game again if it forces us to leave vanilla content again.
Okay MAYBE I'll stick for TBC. But why people want to play vanilla only to play previous expansions (all of which made the game worse aside raid boss mechanics) is beyond me.

BC fixed your fucking classes

I can't really think of anything about BfA I liked better than Legion or even the first couple months of WoD before the content got stale.

Nigga I mained resto druid in TBC and literally no other class could fight me. I solo carried a friend in arenas; she would die as a shitty green geared rogue in seconds and I just healed and bear lacerate spammed undefeatably. TBC was fantastic but vanilla is still the *world* of Warcraft.

There's no reason why they couldn't do expansion specific servers. Private servers are perfectly capable of it.

I want to relive MoP class balance.

Yes if they allow us to play on different version servers I'm all for it. There are things to prefer between vanilla and TBC at least.
Vanilla nails the world, itemization, things from lower levels still being relevant at max level such as professions etc. I absolutely love that.
TBC nails dungeons, boss mechanics and class balance (aside for lmao resto druids); just letting every spec actually work as intended is great though.

Recursive gameplay only works in condensed sections, for example Isle of Quel'danas dailies, assault/invasion WQ, instanced BGs. Blizzard needs to gain some common sense and drop the endless world quest / AP nonsense.

>wants fucking dailies instead of world quests
What the fuck?

world quests are literally the only recent feature that doesn't suck dick

I play private severs all the time without any issues.

World quests are unironically 10x better than dailies.
Perhaps the rewards and actual content of the quests should change, but you are objectively wrong if you think dailies are better.

>World quests are unironically 10x better than dailies.
it's the same exact thing, the only good quality about them is that you don't have to run back and forth to quest giver

Unlike wow in TOR you could choose your shard. Unless it was full, you could switch between Orgrimmar 1, 2 and 3. You weren't thrown out of a shard at random.

>Want to go to a populated Orgrimmar

World quests wouldn't be bad if they had an end. Being attached to and endless AP farm that lasts the entire expansion feels horrible. I miss when you got your rep to exalted and you were DONE.

Looking at the WoW story today is a complete fucking turn-off. Whenever I get the slightest urge to go back all I have to do is remember that void elves exist and that the Horde has been repeating the same plot arc since fucking cataclysm.

>It's another episode of "Grinding reputation to exalted is tough"
There's plenty crap added that should help with unlocking. The reputation for Legion factions you can grind are doubled. BfA factions have Contracts which only give you 10 rep per World Quest, but Honorbound / 7th Legion has ridiculous amount of reputation sources compared to others that you could potentially earn Mag'har or Dark Iron Dwarves quiet fast.

"People" will believe anything.

based irl nigger

really wish WoW had some proper lighting

Drustvar and the music was amazing aside from the whole "le epic fatty woman" that was put in a leadership position and that's about it really.

>The thing that is keeping a lot of retailfags subbed is the chance to grind a rep to unlock a character reskin so they can grind back up to 110 and do the same shit they've been doing for months
>Blizzard have withheld said reskins for this long into the expansion to string these dumb fucks along and keep them subbed

Reskin? You mean the two races with completely unique models and racials?

>Fat humans
>Different looking trolls

For all intents and purposes they're reskins, they're not new races.

I mean sure, they're just humans and just trolls, but they're not reskins.
A reskin implies just changing the textures on the model. These are different models.
I think BFA is shit too but let's be real here.

Being pedantic doesn't change the fact that the thing BfA players are so excited about is the chance to do the same dogshit "content" they're doing now with a different character model.

Thats not what a reskin means retard

Ironically though, high elves would have been an actual reskin and gotten more alliancefags excited.

The whole stigma surrounding High Elves is one of the most interesting things about WoW and it's history
>High Elves start out as an Alliance unit in the RTSes
>Vanilla releases
>Horde is ridiculously outnumbered because their races aren't conventionally pretty
>They shoehorn the now-Blood Elves into the Horde and would later go on record as saying their main influence for doing so was Chines and Korean fans complaining that the Horde had no pretty females
>Regardless of this High Elves show up on the Alliance, and have done so since the beginning of the game
>They show up far more than actual Alliance races like Gnomes, to the point where people assume they'll eventually be playable
>To this day they still aren't
>People still want them
I can't think of anything else quite like it in video games.

compared to bfa wod wasnt even that bad. There was still pvp gear so you could just do bgs or assran on alts and no demon hunters to shit up everything
leveling was dogshit but at least you got to max in like a week.Plus you allso had most of your skills

Kill yourself, Helftard

Thanks to the collapse in the user base because of its shiftiness, Blizzard lost the safety blanket they’ve had since 2004. All the firings and layoffs are a direct result of this piece of shit.

>all worthless sjw tards got fired

Oh NOOOOOOO

I was seriously hoping their layoffs would cause the Overwatch "League" to shut down too

The new murloc pet is pretty cute, that went right I guess?

Idk and idc, just stating the fact that they're not reskins. You're using the term wrong.

>holding back the races
>holding back again on 8.1
>they're gonna hold them back again on 8.1.5
>people gonna reroll for them and realize WoW is just a shit game, well more then usual for BFA
>FFXIV is obviously the superior game and you should come erp with us on discord uWu

>can't even get through BfA's zones because the quests are literally ALL the same exact thing (kill x enemies, find x drops, interact with x objects, rinse, repeat)
>unsub
I've put up with so SO much but BfA finally made me step back and realize that I hadn't even really sincerely enjoyed WoW since 3.1, and that I just kept playing because fuck it I've done and collected so much I don't want it to go to waste, and that nearly all of my friends and old guildies and the PEOPLE that made the game worthwhile were all gone and that I may as well just play a single player RPG at this point for all the non-interaction I get out of the game at this point.

Of all the things to complain about, its BFA's questing?

WoW finally killed itself. We might get a decent MMO now.

>heavier emphasis on character development
>bfa is a huge step down from legion

What does he mean by this

Don't get me wrong, the zone quests in the last few expansions haven't been stellar, but at least guild chat and zone chat got me through it. Now I don't even have that and the only really active guilds on my realm are unappealing.

>that feel when leveling through island expeditions
Why cant Warfronts be scaled like Islands, at least spamming those is a bit less boring than islands

Probably all the faction conflicts and major hand-holding (storywise) in the zones. The problem is the minute a red/blue covered npc shows up, everyone's brain turns off and they go into a rabies-induced rage. if the dev's can't properly do a faction conflict (and they have turned their brains off since Icecrown), then get rid of the faction conflict period.

This one is good thanks.

Humans are the dindus in wow though. Orcs literally did do everything and everyone including the orcs admit it. Humans are the ones who are magically protected from any crimes they tried to commit by the word of god making sure they dindu nuffin cuz they're good boys.

>tyrande is mad at everyone
>literally called anduin an incompetent cuck

>everyone is mad at sylvanas

they will split the 2 factions into 4 just like in WC3.

Sylvanas is for being resurrected and bred by Anduin.

I want to marry and impregnate a Gnome desu

It would work if Blizzard wasn't literal shit at everything they do

why's the face in that picture so small?

Boralus is nice and the raids are pretty cool. Everything else about this expansion is trash

They should have made blood elves as alliance and draenei (actually being rogue eredar and not retconning TFT draenei)
Then again BC in general was a shitfest lorewise.

Its the whole 'artstyle' user. It fucking baffles me how everyone is perfectly okay with this when it looks like everyone has a head one-size too small for their heads.

Fuck no
